As for the Mediterranean diet. I practice a modified version, and I really do feel much better than when I'm eating food that has been processed to hell.

This would be so easy with the Lightning Network. In general payments are just better. No need to input your personal info No need to give away you CC

Just scan a QR code and you are good to go.

Whoever cracks this problem will single-handedy restore the entire news industry.

PPV is pretty old concept, but it just gets wrecked by ad supported free content. Which is basically what you described but with unlimited access and higher upside no?

The content has to be genuinely very unique to be worth ppv, i.e a boxing match. I'd be very annoyed to ppv a listicle.
